We are seeking a software developer to join our robotics software dev team, advancing the development of a micro-CT (mCT) system. You will be responsible for designing and implementing software architecture for data acquisition and system control of high-resolution X-ray CT imaging scanners. This greenfield project involves building a backend application in close collaboration with domain experts and system engineers. You will have a big impact on the design and architecture of an advanced robotics application, directly contributing to key system attributes such as resiliency, scalability, and performance. You will also have substantial hands-on involvement in hardware integration, and performance optimization in the context of radiation physics and imaging science.

Your Role

• Specify, design, and develop maintainable software in C# on the .NET platform. Contribute new software modules based on functional specifications and participate in refining existing architecture.
• Use APIs, libraries, low-level communication protocols, and unmanaged code to integrate hardware components, handle binary data, and ensure reliable system operation.
• Work closely with system engineers and domain experts to design proprietary solutions, extract essential domain knowledge from existing systems, and advance the capabilities of our imaging scanners.
• Participate in hands-on testing and integration of hardware, ensuring the efficient operation of imaging systems within a radiation physics and imaging science environment.
• Critically review existing solutions and conduct research in collaboration with the R&D team.
• Maintain a broad overview of the overall solution, understanding how specific module designs influence the product roadmap and long-term system architecture.

Preferred qualifications and experience

• We welcome candidates who have a strong background in C# development, an interest in hardware integration, and a readiness to engage with the scientific and technical aspects of imaging technology. 
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. 
• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Understanding of software architecture and design patterns.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented design and programming principles (e.g. SOLID). 
• Willing to learn and design new systems with a keen attention to detail. 
• Effective interpersonal skills, a proactive solutions-oriented approach, and enjoyment of working within multidisciplinary teams. 
• Strong proficiency in English; knowledge of Dutch or French is a plus.

Nice to have

• Experience with C# and the .NET ecosystem (Framework and Core).
• Experience in building high-performance software for real-time data processing.
• Experience in integrating and operating hardware components.
• Familiarity with C/C++ and Python.
• Familiarity with LabVIEW.
• Familiarity with communication protocols such as Modbus, COM or EtherCAT. 
• Experience with front-end web development (React/Vue with Typescript).
• Comfortable designing and implementing APIs (RESTful, gRPC) and working with communication protocols (TCP/IP, WebSockets).
